Chapter 119：Confession under the Moonlight

Li Weijie is leaving, and Su Keko Naturally sent him off.

After leaving Su's home, Su Keko didn't rush to send Li Weijie back. Instead, she found a quiet place to stop and talk.

"I never thought it would be this easy. It seems like they won't stop us from dating," Su Keko laughed happily.

Li Weijie also smiled, "I never thought your parents would be so different from the wealthy people I imagined."

In his life, he had never really had much contact with true billionaires. His impression of these wealthy people was based on novels and movies, and he never had a good impression of them. So he was surprised by the performance of Su Deqi and others tonight.

"Hmph, people always say my parents are nice, but you just have a grudge against the rich," Su Keko pouted.

"It's not a grudge against the rich, it's just that different social classes find it difficult to communicate and have a common language. Our values, perspectives, and experiences are all different. How can we communicate well?" Li Weijie thought for a moment. "Although tonight's communication was relatively successful, it doesn't mean they truly appreciate me. They might have already eliminated me once we leave."

Su Keko was taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean? Are you saying my parents are two-faced?"

Li Weijie smiled lightly, "Not really. I would say they are more cultured and didn't show it directly. They gave me face tonight, and they can also be seen as giving you face. But our identities are still too different, so it might be difficult for them to accept."

"How are our identities too different? My dad used to start from nothing," Su Keko said with a bit of annoyance.

Li Weijie recalled the expressions and words of Su Deqi and Lai Changyi tonight. He felt that they were sincere. They shared successful business ideas with him and didn't hold back at all. People like that... do they need to act differently behind your back?

"Maybe I'm being overly suspicious, or maybe there's a subconscious sense of inferiority. They are nice," Li Weijie smiled slightly and lowered his voice. "Keko, with what you said, I feel a new pressure now!"

"What pressure?" Su Keko was a bit puzzled.

Li Weijie sighed lightly but didn't say it out loud, "Ah..."

"What's going on?" Seeing Li Weijie's melancholy expression, Su Keko also became a bit nervous. She didn't know what he was thinking about again.

Li Weijie suddenly smiled mysteriously and leaned closer to her, whispering, "If your parents... really approve of me, what should we do?"

"What should we do? Isn't it great?" Su Keko furrowed her brows. She still didn't understand his meaning.

She looks at her beautiful face up close, with the dusk streetlights shining in from a distance, creating a hazy and captivating atmosphere. Even though he was already familiar with her beauty, Li Weijie couldn't help but feel a strong attraction.

Seeing that she didn't understand, he had no choice but to be more direct and test the waters, "I mean, if they think I'm suitable to be your boyfriend... what about the two of us?"

Upon hearing this, Su Keko finally understood. In the dim light, she looked into his dark eyes. It seemed as though a burning light was staring at her, making her heart race. She quickly lowered her head but continued to pretend to be oblivious, "What about the two of us?"

As she said these words, she also felt a bit anxious. It was difficult to figure out his exact meaning. Why did he say he felt pressured? Could it be... She didn't dare to look into Li Weijie's eyes and quietly waited for his response.

At this moment, Li Weijie's thoughts were filled with contradictions. He felt the impulse to make Su Keko his girlfriend, yet this impulse was much more rational than what Lin Ruotong said. He was confident that he understood and liked Su Keko.

But at this moment, the thoughts instilled by Luo Xuan started to take effect!

Luo Xuan wanted him to aim to conquer all the beautiful women in the world, but Li Weijie clearly stated that he only wanted to find the woman he loved the most. However, Luo Xuan twisted the concept a bit, encouraging him to cast a wide net, focusing on certain catches, and making an effort to get to know and like every beautiful woman he met, to determine who he liked the most.

At that time, Li Weijie thought it made sense. For a man without a girlfriend, any woman who met the criteria could be a target. But if he didn't get to know them and understand them, how would he know who he liked the most?

Now he wanted to confess to Su Keko, but he hesitated. What if I say it, but she doesn't like me? What if she does like me, but after a while, I realize she's not the one I like the most?

As Li Weijie remained silent, Su Keko couldn't help but become impatient. She looked up at him with a somewhat tense expression and asked, "Hey, what's going on? What do you want to say?"

"Oh, I meant... why don't we just make it real? Let's make our fake performance real!" Although he didn't fully express his feelings, Li Weijie felt a bit relieved. "What do you think?"

"Huh? Make our fake performance real?" Su Keko initially thought he wanted to distance himself from her by using this as an opportunity. But when she heard him say this, she couldn't immediately understand. Her mind quickly turned, trying to figure out what he meant.

"Fake performance, real?" Su Keko thought to herself. Is this guy trying to take advantage of me? Does he want to take advantage of me without taking responsibility? How audacious! He's just a scoundrel, a bad guy!

Li Weijie waited for her response to determine if he should say everything. Seeing her silent, he became a bit anxious. "Hey, what do you think? Give me an answer!"

He didn't know that his confession, which wasn't said clearly, had led Su Keko to a different interpretation. He had been vilified as a scoundrel!

Su Keko clenched her fist, feeling furious. Her full chest rose and fell with anger. However, she maintained her composure on the surface, and in this situation, Li Weijie couldn't see through her.

"What answer do you want? Didn't you say let's make our fake performance real? What answer do you need from me?" she replied without good grace, inwardly cursing and thinking, you dare to take advantage of me? Just you wait!

Li Weijie couldn't help but laugh bitterly at her response. He sighed, "Miss, I know you lack experience, but you don't have to act so naive, right? A relationship requires both parties. Even if I like you, can it work if you don't agree? It's not like I want you to..."

"What?!" Su Keko was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? Say it again!"

Seeing her expression, Li Weijie was taken aback. He muttered under his breath, "Hey, do you have to react so strongly? Even if you don't like me, couldn't you have phrased it a bit more subtle? Is it necessary to look like you want to devour me?"

Su Keko was shocked. She only remembered the phrase "Even if I like you." She didn't pay attention to the accusation of her being naive. She stared at Li Weijie, completely astonished. "What did you say? Say it again!"

Not realizing that she had misunderstood his meaning, Li Weijie sighed and said, "I said I was just kidding when I mentioned pressure. I'm only saying, what should we do if your parents think we're a good match?"

"What should we do? Isn't that great?!" Su Keko furrowed her brows. She still didn't understand his intention.

Li Weijie smiled wryly. "I mean, should we make our fake performance real?"

"What do you want to do?" Su Keko held her head high, her eyes no longer avoiding his gaze, but staring directly at him.

Li Weijie inwardly sighed. This girl has become quite skilled in tai chi, never thought she would be like this. My question was clear, why is she pretending not to understand?

"I... I can't do anything." He said with a bit of difficulty, hesitating in his heart.

"What do you want to do? Just say it directly, be straightforward!" Su Keko said impatiently. In her heart, she muttered to herself, why are you beating around the bush? Are you trying to distance yourself from me?

"Well... I guess I can say it?" Li Weijie made up his mind. Even if she doesn't like me, it's just words.

As for whether he will meet a girl he likes more, Li Weijie no longer considers it. He didn't want to miss out on the person in front of him. Who knows what the future will bring? Who knows if he will meet someone better, more suitable, and more liked in the future? Perhaps if he misses the chance with the girl in front of him, he will regret it for a lifetime.

"Say it!" Su Keko couldn't contain her impatience. Who's afraid of you?

"I think we might as well make our fake performance real, pretend to be a real couple!" Although it wasn't a complete confession, it was already half-said. Li Weijie felt a bit relieved. "What do you think?"

"Huh? Make our fake performance real?" Su Keko thought he was trying to distance himself from her because of her family. When she heard his words, she didn't immediately understand. Her mind spun quickly as she tried to figure out what he meant.

Fake performance, real?

This guy wants to take advantage of me, but doesn't want to take responsibility?

Su Keko thought. No, wait. Fake performance, real... He wants to make our relationship real. Does he like me? Is his so-called "making the fake real" about developing a real romantic relationship?

Su Keko's breathing became rapid, unsure of what to do. Thoughts raced in her mind as she asked herself, What should I do? How should I answer him?
